    This is a waltz from the repertoire of Jay Ungar & Molly Mason, which I have learned from the free PDF transcription on their website:

    I've played the accompaniment on tenor guitar and have added a mandocello bass line.

    Mid-Missouri M-0W mandolin
    Suzuki MC-815 mandocello
    Vintage Viaten tenor guitar

    Looks like I've beaten crissscross to this Jay & Molly waltz...

    Like being lost in a white out in the wilds, this piece is really impressive Martin. Your mando cello is positively threatening!

    Beautiful arrangement and recording, Martin! I really like the harmonic minor chord progression of this tune.
    A little different from most other Jay and Molly tunes. I have the leadsheet, but haven't found the time yet to record it.
    But someday soon...

    Thanks for the kind comments! I think it's a bit different from their other tunes because it was written for piano accompaniment, not guitar. I added the mandocello because the chord progression contains a specific bass line which can't be integrated into my tenor guitar rhythm (not sure if it works on guitar). I think the recurring descending bass pattern is what atsunrise has picked up on.

    Very nice Martin. In Canada I can relate to the snow storms. I hibernate and make music.
